Break Time Reviews
2019’s Shazam! marked a potential shift for the DCEU. The preceding six movies opened to, let’s say mixed reviews, with the exception of Wonder Woman. On the heels of Aquaman becoming the first billion dollar grosser, there was optimism to be had that the expected comparatively lighter Shazam! could finally give DC back-to-back successes, critically, […]
The reasons the Scream series is an iconic horror franchise are plentiful. The villain, creative kills, meta commentary and self-referential humor. But one piece it’s become best known for is the opening scene. The opener is usually a high-point for each movie. It sets the tone for what’s to come (it’s no coincidence that the […]
Ratu Matthew is thrilled how Tribal went. Brandon stayed in the game, and he didn’t have to show his cards by playing his Shot in the Dark. Lauren is also thrilled, coming back to camp with her extra vote. The danger, however, is that it’s now public. Kane could be in trouble, though. With Maddy […]
Here we go, one of my favorite articles to write each year! I love the Oscars and – maybe even more so – I love betting on the Oscars. As I say every year, betting on the Oscars is tricky. Often times, several categories have such heavy favorites going into Oscar night that it doesn’t […]

But talking about it in the sense of explaining how the game works, broad strokes type things. Sure, we have a two hour premiere, but […]
The MCU has been *ahem* a marvel to witness (I’m sorry). Watching it grow from Iron Man into the incredible culmination a decade later with Avengers: Endgame was truly something special. One of the bigger, nagging issues, though, was the constant tie-ins to future projects, teasing new heroes and villains, hints of storylines to come […]
The For Dummies book series has provided easy to follow steps for anyone to learn about any number of topics for three decades. Some might deride the books – and those who use them – due to the chosen. But I’m sure they’ve proven immensely helpful for countless people. At Midnight feels like someone had […]
It’s a story we’ve seen a thousand times. Longtime friends who are seemingly perfect for each other can never make it work as more than friends. For one reason or another, they always just miss each other. It’s the basis for countless romantic comedies. And like the rom-com genre in general, it’s a tried and […]
